Got up this morning to find my old reliable modem had shuffled off the mortal coil. A XyXEL p-600 it had worked reliably since 2006. O.K. things break and wear out.

Trotted out and got a Netgear DM111PSP which cost about 3 times what the old modem did. Followed the easy to follow directions and hooked it up. So now I'm back on line but at about 1/4-1/3 of the speed I used to get. Could be just a slow night, but I'm already suspicious. And not happy.
